Random Training Notes 2

When ducking a punch, maintain balance on the balls of the feet, transition weight between the feet in the direction of the duck, and use the calves to rebound back up for the counter. Staying flat footed reduces the speed of the duck and the return, and the overall body weight that can explode into a counter strike or tackle.

"Try to see yourself as you truly are and try to adopt what is meritorious in the work of others. As a karateka you will of course often watch others practice. When you do and you see strong points in the performance of others, try to incorporate them into your own technique. At the same time, if the trainee you are watching seems to be doing less than his best ask yourself whether you too may not be failing to practice with diligence. Each of us has good qualities and bad; the wise man seeks to emulate the good he perceives in others and avoid the bad." Funakoshi Gichin
